Options for semi-retirement? 51, close to but not quite at my number, kids heading off to college now, completely debt free with house paid off (and looking to downsize soon). Would be bored out of my mind if I ever fully retired, but want off the hamster wheel.

Depends on what you want to do to fill your time.

Do you want more of the same? Or something completely different?

If more of the same, then part-time advisory roles either with the same company or others might work.

If something completely different, then it’s time to figure out what that is. Would it still be in the corporate world or maybe more focus on sports / outdoors, or skills-based like woodwork/art/music/languages.

Or maybe you want to build up your own business or buy over a franchise.

I left the corporate world a couple years back and have zero regrets. Currently spending some time slow traveling the world with my family, dabbling in angel investing, executive coaching, learning new languages and taking lessons in Italian cuisine since we’re currently spending a few months in Italy.

Yes. The $150k spend includes traveling for 4-5 months in Europe/Asia. If we stayed put, it’d only cost $80-90k for 2 kids in daycare/private school in a nice neighborhood since we’re based in Asia.

Hey guys ,
I was a fresher when i joined wipro
My manager has given me rating 1 in confirmatory appraisal on may 18 may which happened after completion of 1 year at wipro.
I raised the issue of rating with my manager immediately , he convinced me not to worry , ratings are already submitted , I asked him to resubmit cause i don't deserve rating 1
So he said he will look if that is possible but didn't changed .Now after 3 months they are pressurizing me to put a resignation,what should i do?
